Sponsorship: URI Career Services welcomes parent sponsorships of programs and events. A big goal is to find support to build a new facility or renovate an existing facility to present a more professional image than is offered by the current unique facility on the second floor of Roosevelt Hall. We are looking to enhance our visibility to your students and to employers with a new modern facility! For more information, contact Dr. Bobbi Koppel, Director, at bkoppel@uri.edu or 401 874-5177.
You are always welcome to contact Career Services and we welcome your suggestions!
